Ever get shrimp and want to try something different with it? Well here’s an idea: roast it. Now, if you follow my blog you will see a recurring cooking method that I use frequently. My thoughts are that it is a quick, simple to follow, failproof method that brings out the best flavor in whatever you are cooking. These shrimp are great on top of a salad, on a bed of rice with veggies, or make an easy appetizer with an assortment of dips. My kids favorite kind I made were by far the coconut shrimp. But who doesn’t love coconut?

*Shrimp will cook very fast, so don’t walk away from the kitchen while they are roasting.
